Note if purchasing copy shop printing for sizes 16-34: Some of the pattern pieces have been split (to fit on the A0 sheets) and will need to be joined together.

Suggested fabrics: The Georgia Trousers pattern is designed for woven fabrics. It works best with midweight fabrics (6-8 oz/yd²) or heavyweight fabrics (8-10 oz/yd²) that have good drape, such as wool suiting, linen, or Tencel. For a more casual look, you can also use canvas or denim, which will hold the structured lines of the pleats. 

Fabric requirements: Note you may need more yardage if you are working with graphic prints and wish to pattern match. You will need more yardage if you choose to lengthen the trousers.
